It's a good book for class and goes over all the details that are important for practicing as a genetic counselor. I used this for the 2 years I was in school and even when I study for boards. What surprised me though was that I continued to use it even when I was done with school. It has a lot of great concepts that are useful when interacting with patients.

As a graduating genetic counseling student, I have found this book to be highly valuable. It covers much of the practical information needed for genetic counseling, from how to run a session to psychosocial issues. It does not cover genetics, and is not meant to be that kind of text. This book is meant to be used in conjunction with genetic counseling classes and clinical training experience.

I wanted a printed edition, and had been waiting this last 1 month for it. I realize now that I made a digital order, which I dont know how it works. Please refund my payment, and if you can send me a printed edition. You could also guide me on how digital order works.
